<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2183075, member: 15929&quot;]Just &quot;aiming&quot; for the Proof Coins is good enough IMO. After that, if selectivity can be worked into the collection, then great.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, even with those coins, a certain loss should be expected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a moderns collector, 2 years ago I decided to pick up a relatively common classic coin at the going rate. An AU55 1955/55 DDO Lincoln, which is a coin on everybody&#039;s list, set me back $2250.</p><p>Prices began plummeting after that and the dealer I bought it from has no interest in it. Even with a $450 loss on my end.</p><p><br /></p><p>The entire point being, if you want to be a coin dealer, then do NOT buy retail and do NOT buy at close to market unless the market is fireball RED HOT with prices climbing on a daily basis.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to be a collector, then buy at as lowest possible price as can be found and be done with it. If you buy multiples...........you&#039;ll end up getting stuck somewhere along the line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
